Masters Degree
The Institute’s flagship course will be a Masters degree. The course will be delivered only part-time and modularised so that participants can take subjects over a period that is suitable to their work commitments. Participants will also be able to accumulate credits towards a range of subsidiary exit awards, creating building blocks towards the Masters degree.
The Masters programme will have a major focus on problem-solving projects. The requirement for Masters students to undertake work-based assignments, including a final consultancy assignment in another institution, will ensure that the experience gained through the Institute’s courses will be of immediate relevance to their professional lives and to their institutions.
Subjects will be delivered by distance education, initially as paper-based modules. Once subjects are established they will also be made available on-line. However there will be a continuing use of at least three intensive one-week courses delivered in face to face live-in mode. This will allow for the accelerated delivery of teaching as well as providing opportunities for the student cohort to come together.
A number of scholarships will be made available to students enrolled in the course.
